Problems with Alfresco installation on Ubuntu 22.04

[sergio_5]

Hi, I've been trying to install Alfresco version 7.3 manually on a local machine (Ubuntu 22.04) for several days, I'm following the official documentation and troubleshooting errors as they arise. It has reached a point where I am not able to go any further, it seems to be a problem of keys and also permissions. If I try to log in I get the following message: Your authentication details were not recognized or Alfresco Content Services may not be available at this time. I attach the logs and the properties file.

Thank you very much for your help.

Ensure that Alfresco can connect to the database correctly. Verify the database settings in the "alfresco-global.properties" file, including the database URL, username, and password.

I have checked the database connection data and they seem to be correct.

Unable to access the attached files. But "Your authentication details were not recognized or Alfresco Content Services may not be available at this time." is an indication that your repository is not running correctly. 

Couple of things to check:

1 - Double check the file system permissions

2- Make sure you have updated the tomcat/conf/catalina.properties with shared.loader mapping.

Open and edit the /<YourInstallPath>/tomcat/conf/catalina.properties file:
$ sudo vim /<YourInstallPath>/tomcat/conf/catalina.properties

Update the value of the shared.loader= property to the following:
shared.loader=${catalina.base}/shared/classes,${catalina.base}/shared/lib/*.jar

3- Make sure all configs in alfresco-global.properties are appropriately set.

4- Make sure you update the "repository-url" to point to the alfresco host and port, in case you are setting up alfresco and share on different servers. Default values are "localhost" and "8080". We are setting up both ACS and Share on same host so we will leave it default.

5- Make sure you update the share "Remote" configuration to point to the alfresco host and port, in case you are setting up alfresco and share on different servers. Default values are "localhost" and "8080". We are setting up both ACS and Share on same host so we will leave it default.

There is detailed setup steps here (Althogh it is for CentOS, but should be pretty much similar for Ubuntu): https://javaworld-abhinav.blogspot.com/2021/06/setup-acs70-ass201-and-transformation-service.html
